Since the internet has become popular it has become an essential tool for making money. In the mid 1990s making money on the internet was mostly about buying and selling domains, selling hosting, doing web design, pornography, and selling products. Now things have change and there are many more ways to make money on the internet. People can make money off of eBay, affiliate marketing, and content based websites just to name a few. Due to the wide range of ways to make money on the internet everyone is getting involved. Things like ad sense are making it easy and people are taking advantage by putting up websites with the sole purpose of making money. Sometimes people use duplicate content or build sites that ad no value to the internet. Others take offense to that method and say it is immoral to build sites like that.

I feel that the internet has value and some crap but I don’t believe it is immoral to build a site for the sole purpose of making money as it is the goal of many. If you analyze the internet there are a lot of dead sites laying around that people have given up on. Is it immoral to give up on a website? There are many domains that people buy and never develop, is it immoral to leave a domain undeveloped because it is taken up space on the internet. The bottom line is if a person can make money off of a one page website or a website with articles from an article database it is their choice. It has nothing to do with morals it has more to do with jealousy. People that cannot make money off of a worthless site are just mad that they have to do so much to make a site with value just to make the same or less money.
